Glamorous bedroom decorating ideas

What would your dream bedroom look like? Conjure up your fantasy bedroom and it is probably an opulent and glamorous boudoir-style room, with a bold design and luxurious accessories.

Choosing a glamorous bedroom scheme allows you to be really adventurous with the design. Go all out with rich colours and patterns and be brave with a daring theme that will turn your current bedroom into something really special.

Whether your tastes are dark and moody, or you prefer an all-white backdrop, or even a colourful scheme, there is a way to incorporate your tastes into a glamorous bedroom.

Choose monochrome decor to create a masculine room that is totally modern and chic. Go big with black, adding in striped accents and a subtle print on the walls to warm up the room.

Or, for a completely different take on glamour, choose white French-style furniture and country-chic accessories to give a neutral colour scheme a luxe makeover. Patterned wallpaper and ornate extras will up the ante on any neutral hue.

If you prefer something a bit brighter, choose rich and dramatic colours to give your bedroom a glamorous makeover. Deep, sumptuous reds, greens and blues will instantly add an extravagant touch to any bedroom. Choose to focus on one colour and even one feature. A red bed cover, a green padded headboard or midnight blue throws and soft furnishings will achieve the opulent look you are after.

Choose a rich accent colour

Complement a neutral scheme by picking a bold, rich accent colour and using it to highlight just one area. This jewel-toned throw perfectly brings attention down from the classic wooden-beamed ceiling and onto the central bed area, without being too overdone.

Hang a feature wallpaper

We love a good floral feature wall, and this pretty metallic pattern gives a slight edge to this country-style bedroom. The contrasting tones and rich scatter cushions stop this look from being overly girly.

Create sleek minimalism

Add stylish stripes

A small room doesn’t mean you have to scrimp on style. Vertical grey and white stripes are fun and help create an illusion of space. A rich, jewel-toned bedspread and glass-topped bedside table both add to the bold, playful look.

Modern bedroom with black feature wall

Light furnishings and wall hangings are vital in a bedroom with dark walls. This bedroom has been made to feel elegant and comfortable by mixing the dark grey Venetian plaster with a white light fixture and big white bed. Layering up light-coloured pillows and throws also helps to make the space feel welcoming rather than stark.

Add a grand headboard

Forget making a statement with wallpaper or bedding – why not pick a more unusual feature to accentuate? This larger-than-life headboard brings a touch of hotel-chic to a traditional room, and is complemented by sleek bedding and cool touches, such as the elegant bedside lamps.

Gold textured bedroom

Mineral pattern and texture bring life to a neutral palette. Pile up the bedspreads and cushions and add a chandelier for maximum impact. Gold silk sheets reflect the light and lend a luxe feel to this grown-up bedroom scheme.

Mid-century dressing area

This chic dressing table has been framed with bespoke black-and-white artwork for an old Hollywood glamour feel. Mixing furniture and styles from different eras is a great way to put your personal stamp in your bedroom.

White bedroom with black ornate bed

If your bedroom is teetering on the plain side, consider jazzing it up with an intricately detailed bedstead. This ornate antique piece has a touch of the exotic about it and brings an element of theatre to this otherwise minimal bedroom scheme.

Pink and white bedroom

Retire from the world to this linen edged bed, dressed with cool bedlinen in white and pink. Decorative pendant lights complete the look in this glamorous bedroom. This idea is practical, too, as hanging lights take up no surface area and so work well in bedrooms with limited space to set a table lamp on a nightstand.

Floral bedroom with iron four-poster bed

Charcoal and green bedroom

Create an element of foreboding with deep shades of black and grey. The beauty and balance here comes directly via a smart use of colour and accessories. A pared-back metal bed acts as an elegant frame that visually blends into the scheme, ready to be decked with armfuls of swoon inducing fabrics. A striking black crystal chandelier completes the look.

Glamorous silver bedroom

There’s nothing like a silver-coloured French-style bed to add a touch of glamour to a bedroom. And look at the size of that headboard! This design idea adds depth with luscious lilac-coloured throws and cushions.

Sparkly bedroom

We reckon this ultra-glamorous bedroom idea could be straight out of a film set with its artfully turned down satin sheets and plump pillows. The star performer is definitely the mirrored chest of drawers though…
